On Linux, Control-C and Control-V don't work for copying and pasting in terminals. The Control modifier is used for its original purpose of inserting control codes. Instead, terminal apps require an extra Shift modifier, like Control+Shift+C.
But what if there were hidden shortcut combos for copy and paste
I’d like them to be ctrl-c and ctrl-v
yeah, if you bind ctrl c and ctrl v to copy and paste keys, you can get the same behavior in terminals and other apps that have weird default bindings for ctrl c and v for historical reasons
